:banghead: I am working on a 3.5 hp Brigs and it will run when I spray gas in the carb and then stop I have cleaned the carb but it still dose the same thing :USA:

the carb may be pluged still did you take everything out of it and if you did the carb could be shot

Is it a float type or diaphragm type carb, Rod?

If it's the float type, the main jet nozzle might be plugged.

If it's a diaphragm carb, the diaphragm might be bad.

It is a float type and yes I took everything apart and blew it all out with carb cleaner

ah yes, them newer briggs 3.5hp are a bugger. they are a throw away engine. i have had the same promblem your having. and never could get them to run right. i have another one on the kids go cart and that carb i cleaned and it actually runs but has its moments. i dont remember them having any carb adjustments. take it back off and clean again and blow it out real good with a blow gun. thats all you can do. they also have aluminum cylinders so you cant rebuild them.

will it run on its own with the choke closed or open a little ?.

[Rod(NASNUT) 1]

No the choke closed or open makes no diff. I held my hand over it and still will not run :thumbs:
